Benefit limits on this plan

MaxGuard is a limited medical plan — each service has a fixed benefit, and care beyond these limits is your responsibility.

  • Office visits: $50 copay after deductible, 10 combined visits per year (doctor + specialist + urgent care)
  • Emergency room: $300 copay, max 3 visits per year
  • Ambulance: $500 copay, once per year (ground + air combined)
  • Outpatient surgery: $250 copay, max 3 per year — elective surgery not covered
  • Hospital stay: $850 per admission, max 3 admissions per year, 10-day limit per stay
  • Medical equipment: $100 per item, $500 max per year
  • Outpatient mental health and dialysis: not covered
  • Pre-certification required for hospital, imaging, surgery and more — skipping it costs a 50% penalty up to $2,500

Prescription coverage

Pharmacy through Ventegra on a Mini-MEC formulary: covered generics are $0 at retail. Home-delivery generics via ScriptCo. Brand-name drugs are only available through patient-assistance programs (ScriptAide). Specialty medications are not covered.

Worth knowing

  • Not major medical — benefits are capped per service
  • Office visits capped at 10 per year across all doctors
  • Brand-name drugs only via assistance programs
  • Outpatient mental health not covered
  • Dialysis not covered

All plans require joining the Working Owners group: a 2-minute health survey each month that pays you $10/month.

These are self-funded association group plans, not ACA marketplace coverage. Eligibility depends on a short health questionnaire. Specialty medications are excluded on all plans. Rates shown exclude membership and admin fees, which are disclosed at enrollment.
